WayLog - Save & Export AI Chat History

WayLog is a free, open-source, local-first extension that turns your fleeting AI conversations into a permanent, git-friendly knowledge base.

Stop losing valuable context when you switch IDEs or close a window. WayLog unifies your knowledge base from multiple coding assistants—Cursor, Copilot, Lingma, and more—in one secure place. Never lose AI chat history.

🌟 Open Source on GitHub - Community-driven development, transparent and trustworthy.

❗️ Important Note: All chat history is saved locally in the .waylog folder within your workspace.
